Easter Basket Calorie Counts

Sure, all those chocolate Easter bunnies, jelly beans, and marshmallow chicks look cute and harmless, but watch out. The calories in these Easter "goodies" add up quick.

For example:
1 chocolate covered marshmallow egg: 100 calories 25 small jellybeans: 140 calories 1 small chocolate bunny (1 ounce): 140 calories 5 Peeps: 160 calories 8 malted milk eggs: 170 calories 1 Cadbury creme egg: 170 calories 1 Cadbury caramel egg: 190 calories 1 large chocolate bunny (7 ounces) 1050 calories

This year, why not spare yourself the temptation to sneak into the kid's baskets for a treat by filling them with one special candy and some non-calorie Easter goodies like stickers, crayons, markers, coloring books, a ball, sidewalk chalk, a jump rope, or a Frisbee, instead?
